Comet Caliper Positions
Set your Comet Caliper to any of 16 different positions as follows:
Step 1 - Remove two (2) 3/8-24 x 2" bolts and nuts.
Step 2 - Remove 1/4-20 x 1/2" bolt and washer, and brake lever and return spring.
Step 3 - FIGURE 1 - RAMP BLOCK/ BRAKE LEVER POSITION
You can now set your Ramp Block in one of two positions depending on whether you want a 3 or 9 o'clock or a 12 or 6 o'clock brake lever position. Using the indentation for a reference mark, set the Ramp Block as shown for the desired lever position.
Step 4 - FIGURE 2 - LEVER ROTATION
For desired lever rotation (clockwise/counter-clockwise), set Actuator Shaft and Pin as shown in Figure 2.
Step 5 - FIGURE 3 - REASSEMBLY OF BRAKE LEVER
Looking at the lever, you will notice a "D" hole which fits over the end of the Actuator Shaft. The lever can now be positioned in any one of 4 different locations as shown in Figure 3. Shown are the clockwise positions at 12 and 6 o'clock.
Step 6 - After selecting lever position, remove lever and install desired rotation spring. Re-install lever in selected position with no torsional tension on spring. Install 1/2-20 x 1/2" retaining bolt and washer. Tighten red spring 2-3 notches counter-clockwise and tighten blue spring 2-3 notches clockwise.
Step 7 - Install actuator side backup plate and puck. Assemble caliper half with puck-static side, using two (2) 3/8-24" x 2 HEX Hd. bolts and nuts and tighten. Brake is now ready for installation.
Step 8 - ADJUSTING BRAKE - Loosen set screw
With brake in full "off" position, screw adjusting barrel in until brake lock-up. Unscrew just enough for free vehicle movement without drag. Tighten set screw.
Step 9 - If changing rotation from clockwise to counter-clockwise, remove red spring and install blue return spring.
